ELLIETAN

Illustrator

"No one is going to care if you are doing something you like or
if you are just plain miserable. I've always been a massive doodler
since young, so I decided to take control of my life and pursue my
love for illustration. It took a lot of practice and exposing myself
to artists and their works, that has led me to where I am now."

PEGGYCHANG

Café owner

"I've always liked checking out cafes and chilling over coffee with friends,
but I wouldn't say that I was "always passionate" about food. The Tiramisu
Hero café happened by chance. I saw an opportunity and I grabbed it. My business
partner Aileen and I were also very proactive in finding innovative ways to grow
the business, and I think it was our resilience — plus a bit of luck and creativity
— that took our little business to the next level. I cannot emphasise how important
it is to take charge of your own life. There will inevitably be disappointments
and failures, which is hard especially when you’ve tried your best, but at least
you'll live with no regrets."

CHERYLCHOU

Miss Universe Singapore

"During my late teen years, I made a promise to myself that I would be more of a risk taker,
to be more adventurous, and experiment more with life. I wanted to break away from the norm
of just following a schedule, and joining Miss Universe Singapore allowed me to do just that.
My dream is to see the world and fulfil my potential, so I work hard every day to turn that
into reality. Only you can achieve your dreams."

EDWARDRUSSELL

TV presenter

"After I finished my post-graduate degree, I decided that if I wanted to pursue my dream,
I needed to get my face out of books and in front of a camera. I packed my bags and travelled
around Asia for a couple of years — modeling, acting, hosting — doing whatever I could to start
building up some experience in front of a camera. I was fortunate that things started to pick
up after and eventually I found myself in the position I’m in now. Ultimately, if you chase your
dreams hard enough, it will pay off."
